You have no idea who Sophia the First or Jake and the Neverland Pirates are.

You are not cool anymore and getting less cool by the minute.

Yup, you know you are the parent of a tween when you experience these moments.

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go yell at my son to get off his phone. He’s been playing some video game on there for way too long and he left something in the microwave that smells like it’s burning.

Maybe I’ll sneak a hug in there, too.

Are you in the tween or teen years? How did you know?

LOVE your list. However, I have to report the three of us never shared shoes. I shared a pair with my mom when her suitcase didn’t arrive on our trip to London and she swears she got her painful corns as a result.

Well, and what’s cool today in one school is probably WAAAAY out of vogue in another school! So I’m probably already behind the times with those weird references that have invaded me house the last few months. 🙂Katy @ Experienced Bad Mom recently posted…You Know You Are The Parent of a Tween When

I’m realizing more and more how appropriate the word “tween” is. Some days mine is doing online research, cooking her own breakfast, and rolling her eyes at me; and other days she’s playing with baby dolls and sitting in my lap!Rabia @TheLiebers recently posted…Lucky T-Shirts
